LaunchBox 13.26 Beta Thread

Same here.
BigBox, however, correctly shows the option to update to the latest beta.

I think there is something wrong with this newest beta update. My update did not prompt a notification to download when I opened LaunchBox. I had to check for this new beta update manually even though I have check for updates upon startup and update to beta releases turn on in the options. I have never seen that happen before.

It's actually an issue with 13.25 (can't be a problem with the beta when you haven't even installed it yet :P). There was a short time where 13.25 had that issue but it has been since fixed.

Not to linger on it, but it was essentially just a flip of a setting that then caused some users not to see that an update was available in some scenarios. That was essentially it. Early adopters of 13.25 would have potentially seen this in their build.

In all cases there were ways around not getting the notification, which most people here found, with a few others ways as well that weren't mentioned.

Beta 2 is out with the following:

• Improved: Optimized music playback in LaunchBox to run off the main thread and reuse the same VLC session, improving overall performance and playback stability
• Improved: Addressed multiple reported issues related to music playback reliability and session management
• Fixed: Background music no longer restarts or skips the current track when the screensaver activates
• Fixed: Platform videos in LaunchBox now stop playing correctly when the platform details pane is closed
• Fixed: Restored video playback on Platform Hybrid views where videos were previously not playing
• Fixed: The Play Video Audio with Background Music option can now be toggled independently from the Prioritize Soundtrack Music setting, allowing both options to work as expected
• Fixed: Resolved an index out of range error that could occur during automatic ROM imports in rare empty list scenarios

 

The first post and in app explains more of how you can help test the changes in this beta.

Thanks all.

Sorry to linger Mr Brian, but my beta 1 didn't notify me of the beta 2, BB is notifying me

The Help>Check for Update is working and downloading correctly this time, well sorta, crawling as it downloads for some reason. Internet speeds close to 750mbs DL

Read the first post, it should explain it to you.

Also, there's currently no server issue. Not sure why it crawls from where you are. You won't get the full speed, but it's usually enough to download in a few minutes.

Well if the issue has been fixed, it is still not working correctly. I am still getting the same issue with beta 2. I still did not get a notification to update to beta 2 as I had to check for updates manually. It is not a big deal, just wanted to report what I am seeing.

Thanks, that trail will lead you to the answer.

What you got was the same issue when you were on beta 1. The fix was applied to beta 2
